Dear counselors, I would like to share a great news for us Brazilians here in ICANN, after nearly four-years battle, "Marco Civil da Internet" (Internet's Civil Rights Framework) was approved by the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies. In the case someone would like to know a little bit more here a short text in English with an evaluation of the approval of Marco Civil, the text was written by Luiz Moncau and Pedro Mizukami from CTS/FGV: http://infojustice.org/archives/32527 The ex-minister of Culture and staunch militant for the cause, Gilberto Gil, just posted on twitter: "Vencemos! O #MarcoCivil foi aprovado!! Por uma rede neutralizada,liberdade de expressão e proteção à privacidade!" ("We won! #MarcoCivil has been approved!! For net neutrality, freedom of expression and protection of privacy!") This victory must also be shared shared with all friends around the world who supported this fight keeping it on the agenda all though the years. Cheers! Magaly Pazello
